Logo summary
About the Costa Coffee Logo
Introduction
Two lines of friendly, rounded capitals in a deep wine red — the Costa Coffee logo is the badge of Britain’s best-known coffee shop chain, an Italian name that became a British high-street institution.
Brand Overview
Costa Coffee (Costa Limited) is a British coffeehouse chain founded in London in 1971 by Italian brothers Bruno and Sergio Costa, who started by roasting their signature blend for local caterers before opening their first coffee shop in 1978. Headquartered in Loudwater, Buckinghamshire, Costa grew into the UK’s largest coffee chain with stores in dozens of countries, and was acquired by The Coca-Cola Company in 2019. Its official website is costacoffee.com.
History of the Costa Coffee Logo
Costa’s identity has always been red and always typographic. Earlier versions paired the wordmark with a device of three coffee beans, a nod to the roasters’ craft. The current identity — the version in this download — streamlines the brand to the name alone: COSTA in large rounded letterforms over COFFEE, in the deep red the chain has made its own. It is a mark designed for cups, fascias, and app icons alike, and its warmth is deliberate: Costa red sits closer to wine than to scarlet.
Meaning of the Logo
- The rounded letterforms: Soft, full shapes that promise comfort — a coffee shop’s welcome translated into type.
- Costa red: A deep, wine-dark red that separates Costa from brighter rivals and nods to the brand’s Italian roots.
- Name over descriptor: COSTA huge, COFFEE small — the founders’ surname does the work; the category is a footnote.
Costa Coffee Logo Colors
| Color | Hex Code | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Costa Red | #730723 | The wordmark (sampled from the logo artwork) |
| White | #FFFFFF | Backgrounds and reversed applications |
Sampled from the artwork itself, the red is the dark burgundy of Costa’s current identity — deeper than the scarlet of most coffee rivals.
Conclusion
Costa’s logo is a surname in wine red: Italian by birth, British by address, and recognised on every high street in between.
